She was also was a member of New Jersey Dance Theatre Ensemble before going on to college at Adelphi University, where she performed with the school's dance team.
Courtney R. Allen, Associate Editor
Growing up in rural Alabama, Courtney Rae Allen dreamed of becoming a Broadway star or cast as Odette in Swan Lake. She made her first homemade dance video at age 5 and could often be heard belting show tunes from Cats, Chicago, West Side Story and Phantom of the Opera. Courtney trained at several local dance studios throughout high school and was a member of two competition teams. She also took voice, piano and acting lessons, and performed in school plays and the show choir. But while attending college at Florida State University, she discovered that her passion for writing was far greater. She went on to receive an MA in magazine journalism from Syracuse University and will soon celebrate her first year as an editor at Dance Teacher.
